I have been in the design/construction industry in Las Vegas since the 1970's, starting out in the general contracting field. In my capacity with Martin-Harris, a major general contracting firm, I worked on several design build projects as well as holding the position of Project Manager. In addition, I have worked for major high end interior design firms prior to opening my own studio in 1998 where I worked on designing projects in Las Vegas and California. I am nationally certified through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and a Registered Interior Designer with the Nevada State Architectural Board and a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designs (ASID). I am also a member and Vice President of Interior Design Society. Some of my projects include high end residential projects from new construction to remodeling, banks, cosmetic surgery centers, doctors offices, lawyers offices and jewelry stores to name a few.
